Well, no reason to believe in miracles: Today I experienced the bug
again an so I came up with a new receipt to reproduce it. Its simpler
than the first try and it showed for me the bug reproducible:
1. emacs -Q
2. C-h H ; to bring up the Hello file
; watch out for the German line: "Guten Tag, Grüß Gott"
3. M-x set-default-font RET terminus RET
; now the bug shows: the umlauts are gone the line looks
; like: "Guten Tag, Gr Gott"
C-u C-x = on the vanished `ß' shows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
character: ß (223, #o337, #xdf)
preferred charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of ISO/IEC 8859/1
(Latin-1): ISO-IR-100)
code point: 0x5F
syntax: w which means: word
category: h:Korean j:Japanese l:Latin
buffer code: #xC3 #x9F
file code: ESC #x2C #x41 #x5F (encoded by coding system
iso-2022-7bit-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
x:-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1
(#xDF)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S
general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
There are text properties here:
charset latin-iso8859-1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(well of cause the `ß' in the output above is invisible, too).
Can you reproduce it this way?
Any new ideas?
cheers
